Concierge "This 12-room resort challenges the notion of the tour package/cookie-cutter all-inclusive, not only for its small size but also for its abundance of character."
Jetsetter "Seaside oasis with just 12 thatched roof cottages and one villa, all spread over 10 acres of limestone cliff." Full review
OysterUpscale
"Arguably Jamaica's most romantic escape (for adults only), the Caves' 12 unique, private cottages and suites are tucked along lush garden paths and dramatic seaside cliffs." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Located atop Negril’s limestone cliffs, the Caves is an all-inclusive, adults-only resort surrounded by 10 acres of tropical gardens." Full review
Rough Guide "Gorgeous, romantic small hotel set behind Fort Knox-inspired gates."
DK Eyewitness "Perhaps the most exclusive choice in Negril, and certainly the most romantic."
Star Service "The Caves, Negril's most romantic boutique-hotel, may package meals, drinks and activities into its rates, but it is the antithesis of the commercial all-inclusive operations hereabouts." Full review

Only ground-floor units (six suites and two cottage units) have air-conditioning, so request accordingly; however, all rooms have ceiling and standing fans.
Fodor's "At this boutique resort, the thatched-roof cottages are individually designed and furnished, most with balconies overlooking the deep water off Negril's West End honeycombed cliffs." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "On a limestone headland next to a historic lighthouse, this "great little place" has cliffside cottages made of handcrafted stone and wood." Full review

Frommer's "It isn't the most glamorous, or the most upscale, of the Sandals resorts, but the chain's management makes it their flagship." Full review

Try to avoid booking one of the 10 rooms positioned immediately above the dining area; these don't have balconies and may be noisy.
Concierge "While a similar sense of merriment pervades all of the chain's resorts, including the more relaxed Negril property, this one parties hardest."
Fodor's "The largest private beach in Montego Bay is the highlight of this Sandals—one of the most popular upscale resorts in the Caribbean." Full review
Star Service "This is the original all-inclusive resort for couples in love—no children, no singles allowed." Full review
Oyster All-Inclusive
"For couples seeking a luxurious, all-inclusive experience, with plenty of activities and dining options on-site, Sandals Montego Bay is a beautiful option." Full review
The Telegraph7.0
"With seven properties across the island, Sandals has cornered Jamaica’s all-inclusive market for couples, with each property offering is own romantic twist in terms of location and dining." Full review
Lonely Planet "A superb all-inclusive, couples-only resort where you and the one you love can seek out that honeymoon sparkle while snorkeling, sailing and sunning to your heart’s content." Full review
